Lots of people using the word 'swarm' at the moment, when they really mean 'wave' or 'barrage'. 'Swarming' is different to just flying lots of aircraft at the same time. Here's something I wrote 5 years ago...

Drone-in-a-box was going wild at @XPONENTIALshow Europe, and it’s about time!
DIAB aims to put drones anywhere they can be connected, to be operated remotely in centralised locations. Here’s a selection of pics of systems on display at #XPoEurope2024 to inspire your imagination.

Coolest thing at #XPo: #DefendEye, a tube-launched, disposable, AI search drone.
249g, 10 minutes, eyes in the sky with image detect on board with smartphone cameras. Easy to put it back in the case and then it charges by USB.

2nd Coolest thing at #XPo: #RheinBahn autonomous bus.
Driven (pun intentional) by a bus driver shortage, #RheinBahn of Germany is leaning into autonomous public transport buses. They’re 50% more expensive than a standard bus, but they’re needed, so the business case is strong.
